The alloy wheels aftermarket market is experiencing significant dynamics due to various factors such as suspension of vehicle production and lower vehicle sales impacting demand. Alloy wheels, made from materials like aluminum and magnesium, offer advantages such as being lighter than steel wheels, enhancing vehicular fuel consumption and reducing emissions. Enthusiasts and consumers seek these wheels for their hard and durable properties, contributing to vehicle dynamics like stability and traction. Despite supply disruptions and technological constraints, Tier 1 manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers are innovating to meet the demand for mid-priced vehicles and luxury vehicles. The adoption of carbon fiber reinforced composites further enhances the appeal of alloy wheels in the automotive and aviation industries. Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the alloy wheels aftermarket market growth is the growing predisposition among millennials for the styling of the automotive exterior. There has been a significant decline in the age of first-time buyers. Factors such as external styling, features, and technology used in the vehicle are significantly influencing the purchasing decision of millennials. OEM-manufactured alloy wheels usually have a simpler design.
In addition, the aftermarket supplier offers much more flexibility and customization at a lower price by taking advantage of the gap in terms of quality, flexibility, features, and cost. Furthermore, the aftermarket alloy wheel is less expensive than OEM standard alloy wheels. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the alloy wheels aftermarket market growth is the advancement in technologies. There is increasing adoption of carbon fiber wheel vehicles across motorsport and aerospace industries. The main advantage of carbon fiber alloy is that it is stronger than aluminum and is only half its weight. Additionally, carbon fiber alloy wheels remain intact under a light impact whereas aluminum can deform.
Moreover, there is an increasing adoption of carbon fiber wheels by OEMs to utilize in passenger vehicles, as they enable improved vehicle efficiency. For instance, in August 2017, Porsche AG (Porsche) offered a carbon alloy wheel as an option to the customers of the Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Fluctuations in the price of aluminum are one of the key challenges hindering the alloy wheels aftermarket market growth. Aluminum wheels are generally manufactured from an alloy of aluminum or magnesium. As a matter of fact, a significant number of alloy wheels are made up of aluminum alloys. Thus, the price volatility of aluminum directly impacts the prices of alloy wheels.
For example, in 2020, aluminum prices witnessed a significant fluctuation after the COVID-19 outbreak triggered a global economic downturn. The price of LME aluminum was USD 1,315 per ton in January 2020, which declined to USD 1,230 per ton in May 2020 due to weak demand and oversupply. Wherein, in 2022, the price of aluminum was USD 2401.69 per ton. Hence, fluctuations in prices of aluminium can negatively impact the market which in turn will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
